Construction Interface (COIN) - Simple Start How To

[jjespejo 10]

Just wanted to share a working version of COIN Base Construction. Pulled various user inputs but big thanks to Moach Mayham.

Create a file called coinvar.sqf copy past the code below and follow instructions in // sections to make it work. Place file in Game folder.

FYI, could not get Item 8&9 to work, not sure why??

//credit to Moach Mayhem for code and layout. I added line descriptions and items to make
//basic Base Construction and allow other to build more into this.

//Place Construction Interface(COIN) Module on Map. In its init 
//put        _naught = [this, player] execVM "coinvars.sqf"
//then synchronize each player to the COIN module placed on map

fieldSupplies = 5000; //set to 0 and make cost below 0 for all free

_builder = _this select 1; //player
_module = _this select 0;  //this

_module setVariable ["BIS_COIN_name", "F.O.B Construction"];
_module setVariable ["BIS_COIN_funds", "fieldSupplies"];
_module setVariable ["BIS_COIN_fundsdescription", "*"]; // you can use any symbol $, Euro
                                            // your list of categories you want player to see
_module setVariable ["BIS_COIN_categories", ["Base Assets","Barriers","Light Vehicles", "Armour","Static Weapons"]];
_module setVariable ["BIS_COIN_areaSize", [100, 50]]; //distance radius around construction zone

_gearArray = [];
  //Base Assets
                  //"CLASS","Categories","Cost","Your Desciption"  ** Cost 0 = free

I dont know about the COIN Thing, but maybe its because theres Object Compositions?

[daimyo21 2]

I modified it and placed a KORD machine gun and I can only disassemble it but not use it... Any help? Also if I reassemble i still cant get in it.

EDIT* OK so heres the problem..

Im group leader and i have construction synced too me. I build static and great.. I can use. But my teammates cant use... I killed leader and the next promoted guy could use the gun but unless your leader u cant use

Actually the condition is _naught = [this, player] or whatever, but thats just to use the construction menu.. not the objects.. even when I place objects on ground too via editor I cant use them as teammates.. wth..

Sorry for digging this out, wan´t start a new threat for my little question.

The script works really fine! Easy to use for a script-noob like me!

Can i use the COIN with other objects than this in the list?

I tried it with some Objects from an Addon and they won´t appear.

My Guess is that the listed Objects have a own config where the green Symbol and other stuff are arranged. But the Hope dies last.

Maybe there is another solution to place objects while an MP-Game.

I need only static Objects, no weapons,no vehicles.

Thanks for reading this!

Hi i need some help with this when i try to put the code in a gamefolder i dont see it so i just put the code in a text document in put it in the main page of ArmA 2 OA folder. When im in game editor i put the construction interface modules and syncronize it to my player but when i go into the constuction menu i have no category's of base or defense.please help and i have no idea what these means //put _naught = [this, player] execVM "coinvars.sqf" and thanks

[Mirek 166]

You are making a mission right?

So you have saved the mission in the editor right?

So go to Documents/Arma2/Missions or to Documents/Arma2OtherProfiles/yourprofilename/missions (or MPmissions)

-Locate File that has the same name as your mission. In that file should be a file called mission.sqm.

-Now you add new file that will be called coinvars.sqf.

-Now you have two files in that folder: Mission.sqm and coinvars.sqf.

-Open coinvars.sqf and put the code from OP to that file.¨

-save the file.¨

-go back to Arma 2 editor to your mission.

-From modules menu choose Construction Interface, and place it on map.

-in construction interface´s init field place the

_naught = [this, player] execVM "coinvars.sqf"

maybe try naught instead of _naught. not sure.

-Sinchronise the placed module with each playable unit placed on map.

-Do not change anything in the code, untill you are sure that it works.
